From the 1940s to the 1970s, Teka successfully produced jewelry, mainly from sterling silver with a content of 925 and 835. The first models were distinguished by motifs inspired by the plant world (roses, leaves, flowers), and since the 1970s, Art Nouveau elements have dominated the design.

Teka jewelry is usually made of sterling silver 830 or 925, and, less often, gold and gold-plated. In addition to sparkling rhinestones and crystals, natural stones were used, including zircon, agate, amethyst, quartz, coral and others.
